Bad Influence

I watched the movie, expecting it to be similar to 'Through My Window' or 'My Fault' both of which I quite enjoyed. This, however...I have no idea what this even was. The beginning looked promising, if a little absurd, but as the movie moved (or should I say dragged) forward the story became lamer and lamer and it became obvious, that it wouldn't even come close to what I was expecting. The dialogues, along with the plot were emotionless and often very random, the ending was rushed and empty. When the movie ended I sat in silence, trying to process what had I just watched. If you only take one advice from me, let it be this one: this movie is a pointless watch. It has little to no depth, and you won't ever get back that 1h48min you'd spent watching it. A big let down in my opinion.

I don't usually write reviews, but I just had to. I knew going into the movie that it wasn't going to be some masterpiece, obviously. But this was just bad. It felt like it was all over the place and going in different directions (not in a good way). It seemed like every other scene was a new party. There was no substance to this film and I was bored a few different times. The acting could've been better from both leads, but I thought that the actor who played the Dad and the actress who played Eros's friend were better.

I just didnt believe anything in this movie and didnt connect with anything. The story had an interesting premise but it just wasn't made well so it didnt work out. As far as any of the mystery went, because the film didn't rope me in and make me feel anything for anyone in it, it just fell flat for me. Especially the ending.

Again, I wasn't expecting a masterpiece. So usually I rate this type of films with less strictness than others, but this was just bad. Very forgettable and felt like a waste of time.

Bad Influence isn't predictable - it's just bad. The script lacks coherence, the acting is weak, and the ending is so ridiculous it's cringe-worthy. It creates no tension, doesn't hook you, and leaves you with nothing. A complete waste of time.

I really don't know how to express how ridiculous this movie was. There are so many good films coming out of Spain and this unfortunately was not one of them.

And I feel that the actors are going to get the brunt of this negativity but it really starts with the writing.

I don't know why anyone thought the plot was going to be spectacular. But then it just really went downhill as the movie went on.

Especially towards the end when the story kind of finally unfolds it seemed very forced and quick.

I don't find the love interests believable and I feel like all the characters had lots of drama.

I mean if you got some time to kill and you're just curious then see it but don't go around changing any plans just to see it.

Mala Pelicula would have been a more appropriate name for this film. Look, I went into Mala Influencia expecting scandal, suspense, maybe a dramatic betrayal or two-and what I got was an over-filtered fever dream that thinks it's smarter than it is. If you've ever wondered what would happen if a Lifetime movie and an Instagram influencer's highlight reel had a baby, this is it.

The leads do their best, but they're let down by dialogue that sounds like it was pulled from a TikTok argument and plot twists that can be spotted from a mile away. The pacing drags in the middle and rushes the ending, leaving key motivations murky and unresolved.
